On scalable liquid-metal MHD solvers for fusion breeder blanket multiphysics applications
While substantial research effort has been made recently in the development of computational liquid-metal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) solvers, this has typically been confined to closed-source and commercial codes. This work aimed to investigate some open-source alternatives. Two OpenFOAM-based MHD solvers, mhdFoam and epotFoam, were found to show strong scaling profiles typical of fluid dynamics codes, while weak scaling was impeded by an increase in iterations per timestep with increasing resolution. Both were found to accurately solve the Shercliff and Hunt flow problems for Hartmann numbers from 20 to 1000, except for mhdFoam which failed in the Hunt flow Ha=1000 case. A basic inductionless MHD solver was implemented in the Proteus MOOSE application as a proof of concept, using two methods referred to as the kernel method and material method. Future work will aim to build on these studies, exploring more advanced OpenFOAM MHD solvers as well as improving the Proteus MHD solver.
期刊介绍:
Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion covers all aspects of the physics of hot, highly ionised plasmas. This includes results of current experimental and theoretical research on all aspects of the physics of high-temperature plasmas and of controlled nuclear fusion, including the basic phenomena in highly-ionised gases in the laboratory, in the ionosphere and in space, in magnetic-confinement and inertial-confinement fusion as well as related diagnostic methods.
Papers with a technological emphasis, for example in such topics as plasma control, fusion technology and diagnostics, are welcomed when the plasma physics is an integral part of the paper or when the technology is unique to plasma applications or new to the field of plasma physics. Papers on dusty plasma physics are welcome when there is a clear relevance to fusion.
